Tom Clancy's The Division - The Review (2018)

Today marks the two year anniversary of my first video on KZbin, and there couldn't be a more fitting video to make than a review of the game that got me my start on this platform. And it's a pleasure to review this game now, post 1.8, because the game is in the best ever place it's been, and it's finally the game we all hoped it would be when we laid down our hard earned cash back in March of last year. The Division finally feels complete, and in this review I'd like to show you why...
I've worked with a very talented graphic artist to deliver a special edition version of the script of this video. It's available exclusively to Patrons here: / skillupyt

I would really like it if The Division added the ability to replay the campaign from the beginning with your maxed out character, but with World Tier 5 enemies.

[@Blue24675]

Like a new game plus?

[@nosleep1271]

Can you not replay every mission in tier 5 in just that way? What's the difference?

[@TheJurciks]

I would buy it irght away if i didn't had to use like one hundred bullets to kill one guy,i just can't get over that

[@RoyDurett]

if it takes you 100 bullets to kill a guy then you are not geared enough for what you are doing.

[@jborrelli34]

Juris Raudulis I never felt this or understood this criticism. This is an mmorpg, this is so consistent with the genre. Massive world with RNG leveling up with new gear and skills...Quick kills and fast TTK does not work.

[@spookmineer]

I really like that your reviews are so balanced. Most tend to go either "greatest ever" or "pile of shit", but you always mention the strong and weaker points of a game. It makes for a very well informed choice for us, the gamers!

[@1_underthesun]

That's sums up America these days. Everyone is either all for something or all against another thing. The art of nuance is gone and likely never coming back.

[@awoljones4908]

Dude I’ve watched you from the start and you have become one of the most enjoyable to watch content creators on KZbin . So professional .

[@crzces7500]

Chase Jones Funny Chase, before I clicked the vid I was thinking “Is he the best reviewer on KZbin, or just becoming one of my favorites?” Then I thought, they give out game awards, why don’t they have “Tech reviewers of the year”, “Game Reviewers of the Year” etc for KZbin, as it’d be nice if they did something to show appreciation to them instead of de-monetizing their vids.

[@crzces7500]

oniishanramee Sure, but it is funny as heck. This is the “serious business” channel, “Layman’s Gaming” is “kick back, let it go, it’s probably going to be demonetized anyway.”

[@VasilHasamski]

I stumbled upon this review three months ago... and I bought a copy of the game, a week after that I bought anothet for my father. The Division is quickly becoming my favorite game. As for this review, I've watched it a few times now and I think this is the most comprehensive game review I've ever watched on KZbin.

[@michaelandrews117]

This might be the best written review you've ever done. Your Warframe reviews, Wilson Loot Boxes and Destiny 2 review are great but this is damn near perfect. Maybe one day I'll pick The Division up again, it certainly looks like a decent experience now.

[@NotaToast]

[@mperor87]

My god you did even coordinate the moments when the ads play with the pacing of the video! Such attention to detail, keep up the good work.

[@chiffmonkey]

The bullet sponge criticism would've been solved by having more boss enemies be non-human, like the APC or Helicopter. Go with the real world "What has more hitpoints" rather than just boosting a stat on a meatbag. As for Breath of the Wild, the story is "Who is Zelda?" and you have to do a KILOTON of side content to actually unwravel that.

[@robsonwaterkemper]

What about focusing the stats of your character and your gear in accuracy and agility rather than damage? So you and the enemies could be killed by few shots, but you could have aiming facilitators and running, covering and dodging abilities that would help you to kill with more efficiency and be alive more often. Then you could increase difficulty in higher XP levels by increasing the amount of enemies or boosting their types, like having enemies with shields, smarter enemies, enemies with gear that counter yours etc.

[@wiymmf]

Pretty much the reason why I've gone back and forth on this game. I have wanted to get the game, but I simply cannot get over the fact that humans in hoodies can absorb a metric ton of bullets. The setting, the aesthetics, the genre are all appealing, it's just the bullet sponge that completely throws me off the game.

[@jointhekraize]

I know this video is incredibly old at this point but I wanted to share my unique perspective on this franchise. In 2019, the Division 2 was like $3 on xbox so I bought it, tried it, hated it, and uninstalled it. Fast forward to 2022, I decided to give it another shot after the DLC and updates had been put in (I’m a massive fan of Tom Clancy games). This time, I really enjoyed it and completed all of the base game and DLC with some of the endgame content (I was playing solo so some of the content was more or less inaccessible). Which btw is how I found your channel. After finishing it I went to Division 1 for the first time so it was in the state you are describing in this video and I didn’t have the bad taste in my mouth. I think it definitely has the plight of ubisoft open world game design and I prefer the more tactical/realistic design of other TC games. That being said D1 actually felt more like a TC game to me. There were tactics and strategy involved and I appreciated that. Even if the game was fairly surface level, I really enjoyed the experience and think it’s worth experiencing. As a side note as someone with a deep rooted interest in firearms and gunsmithing, these games always did an incredible job of including firearms you just weren’t seeing in every game such as the lvoa-c and scar20 marksman rifle and I have always appreciated some of that weapon diversity. I haven’t shot a million virtual rounds out of lvoa-cs in the way I have with an m4 or scar17.

Thermal Art Before reading this make sure to like this comment so everyone sees this make this comment up⬆️ok long post I'm day 1 player of the division and ah division is my 1st addicted game ever and I think it will be last.. let me tell y'all something about division since day 1 I have been enjoying this game like most of players ever patch was better than before till 1.8 dropped so new update 1.8 killed division and yea I know it was already dead game but now it's dead dead like a ghost town I'll come across same players whenever I play i know like 75%of good players just Xbox tho and ..90% of good old players left the game after 2 weeks of 1.8 because of new gear sets called CLASSFIED!! And let me explain y'all why CLASSFIED gear sets broke the game 1st you have 3% of chance getting classfied and there's more than 9 classfied gear sets and one gear set contains 6 pieces..vest/mask/knee pads/glovs/holster ..so you have like 0.50% chance to get exactly what you looking for even if you get it they might have bad stats so you'll grind all over again one piece of gear sets takes months to find it 2nd lag they have really bad laggy servers 3rd unbalanced builds 4th takes 0 skills to kill players it's all about builds now ..no classfied build?? You noob!! ... If you have classfied build > you are good just like that..5th oh wait I could tell you guys 100 reasons not to buy this game now but ah just don't buy it and thank me later.. you'll regret even if it's free don't play it you'll waste your time

The division is amazing right now. I got a pre order key with my purchase of my gtx 980ti back in March. At first the game was meh to me, but after patch 1.4 I began to fall in love with it, got the seasons pass and had lots of fun playing with friends. And now with patch 1.8 the game is complete, there is SOO much to do and SOO much fun with friends. It looks like a small map but trust me it’s really not, it’s a very dense and beautiful apocalyptic Manhattan.

[@jmm871]

Everything in this video is top notch information and knowledge to know! But Hamish's shirt selection comment was the highlight of the video. Great stuff!

Love this video man!!!! Huge fan of yours since day one. You single handily guided me through this game from setups for my classes to what guns to use for a specific mission. I’m going to have to go back to playing the division. I was a huge fan of this game since it was first announced. I stopped playing since destiny came out. Going back soon. Thank you.

[@stealthhunter6998]

Ok, Skill I get it buy the Ubisoft game on its real release date which is 2 years after its official release.

[@tehf00n]

I waited a year on purpose for this game because I anticipated the troubles with it after following it for some time in production. When I bought it, I got the full game and season pass for £25. I've put around 500 hours into it so far because im a filthy casual and I have to say, it was well worth the wait.

[@stealthhunter6998]

I'm kinda annoyed atm because I have nothing to play at the moment when it comes to games mainly because my I'm in Aus and no one is matchmaking for games like D2, SWB2 (SWB2 with its game breaker microtransactions and D2 is a boring compared to D1) and now I haven't bought division during its sale... I dunno what to play lol. I like ark but my PC wont run it at 60fps with graphics I think are a standard at least.

Sir you are one of my favorites lol. I know how scary it can be quitting a job to start the next chapter of you're book, I have been there myself. You do not have anything to fear, you have a natural talent for this and are amazing at it. I wish you all the luck that one can handle in you're coming ventures. Keep up the great work.

[@truthoverfeelings]

You make seriously good videos, i am impressed

[@SkillUp]

Thanks for watching mate.

[@mannyinnyc]

That intro still gives me goose bumps #feelsnostalgicman

[@saosaoldian6742]

Dude, I walked away from this game a year ago. Watched everyone of your vids. Just happened to check my feed today and here you are. I've only finished the intro and I'm immensely impressed at your commentary skills. You deserve to be a full time tuber! You're damn good at it. Now I'll return to the rest of your video...I'm glad to hear it's a good game now...I may return. Let me just see why...

[@SounddWavess]

Video so good I watched all the ads

[@mwfcod0932]

Isaiah Franklin hahaha best comment of 2018

[@sdobitoo]

Isaiah Franklin i would too if youtube showed me them

[@Milessss]

Isaiah Franklin As you should, this video was incredibly well put together and thought out. Everyone should always go out their way to support KZbinrs like this.

[@citrusquill7609]

End of a journey and a start of a new exciting journey, best of luck to you mate

[@citrusquill7609]

Looking forward to seeing more of your work through streaming since you have the time now haha, Monster Hunter in particular

[@Amernee]

Just started playing this game again randomly a few weeks ago. The difference is astounding to when I gave up on it a couple years back. Needed a vid like this to make sense of it all really, found it a bit overwhelming but very, very impressed so far. Cheers for this mate!

[@theliIfoxxy]

First subbed for the amazing info in your division vids, and glad to stay for your amazing reviews. I love the depth in all of your videos. Thanks for doing what you do, and doing it so well

[@The0ryZer0]

Really nailed it on this review. Always enjoy your content and that of Laymen Gaming as well. Keep it up, hope your channels keep growing and you can offer some Merch at some point.

[@Maverickjr24x]

You sir are by far the best video game reviewer on KZbin. I’m happy I found your channel a couple months ago. I can’t stop watching your videos. And this video is exactly what I was wanting about the division. I’ve been excited to jump back into this game and you have helped make my decision to do exactly that.

[@allthatishere]

Skill Up, you are literally the best reviewer on KZbin. I can't even take any other game reviewers seriously after watching your videos. And god, I loved what you said about loot shooters: ""Of all the video game genres out there, the looter has got to be the dumbest of the lot... And then you have the looters, where our job is to essentially to click on the same enemies and the same levels over and over again in the hope that one day a house will drop, so I can go back to enjoying this game instead of farming this GOD DAMN PIECE OF ANB9DUF1JHDVF4YEQO9!!" Truer words have never been spoken.

[@allthatishere]

Ti Toxin If not, easily one of the best, period. Unlike so many others who either think games only fall into 2 categories: "best game ever" or "garbage". Fuck that noise.

[@lordofdarkness4204]

Ti Toxin Who do you think beats him at making reviews?

[@8bitArtist]

ACG is a great reviewer

[@RaynosFAA777]

Lol 7 minutes in and that's just the intro to your review. Every other review would be finished by then.

[@ciudecca]

Shots fired

[@theguywhowentthere3346]

It's supposed to symbolize the dual nature of the gamer spirit in that it has become trampled in 7 hour long 'tutorial' portions (here's lookin at you ass creed) in the way that this 7 min into is informative, and other games just... hand hold you and baby you thinking you don't know how to use a joystick :'(

[@basedSHARK]

I started following you when you used to post Division videos and now it's come full circle!

[@YakuSan117]

Another masterpiece review. You rock!

[@arielpradipta4616]

Ahaha, you successfully resell this game to me. Happy new year btw skillup, all the best on all your endeavours!

[@Vudrep]

Started playing this a few days ago just because of your excellent review.Also I have STD (Skill Up transmitting disease) and I am an addict :D. I can not stop watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@oneboardgamer]

HERE HERE!!! It really is an awesome game in so many ways! Still has some issues but what game this ambitious doesn't...I think the Great outweighs the Good and the Good outweighs the Bad at this time which is fantastic!!! Grats on fulltime YT...good luck!!

[@1980albatros]

BRILLIANT!! who else sat through all the ads?.....it's the least I could do ✌️🤠

[@deathknellzero]

Hey mate it’s 4:30am I’ve just re downloaded the division...while waiting for the 50 odd GB to download I came across this video, it’s got me that keen to play again...I was one of those players that had the game at launch and dropped it after hitting max levels in dz and pve...anyway the point of this comment is that it’s great to see an Aussie content creator doing well and the video was absolutely engaging. I sat and watched the whole video, you’ve got a subscriber out of me and I’m looking forward to seeing more great content keep it up!

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

I've never clicked on a video so fast. Absolute gem of a game, 100% completely underrated.

[@tha3immortals]

You literally give the best reviews man. I fucking love setting time aside and learning about other games.

[@SkillUp]

Cheers mate :)

[@DexxonGaming]

I don’t normally comment on videos; but man, bravo, well done. You killed it. I came back to division about 2 weeks ago after leaving it with over a thousand hours put in; and now I couldn’t be happier with it.

[@ShadoonOasis]

Holy shit did i enjoyed every second of this review. Made me cry, made me laugh. As always Ralph keep hustlin' this is gold.

[@antonchigurh8102]

Never seen one of your videos until today but I'm subscribing just to support you in your full time endeavor.

[@marceloguia6107]

I'd say you did a great job and honestly I think you just revived the game with this review. Just weeks ago the player count has gone up quite a bit. Keep at it and your channel will be awesome (or rather more than it already is). Congrats man.

[@Mettsson]

First time I see one of your videos. Professional, clean, funny, bad at pvp, and informative. You, Sir, have earned my subscribtion.

[@EsKaYf4]

Hello Ralph, I am back on The Division after the drama that was The Vanilla Division. Left DESTINY 2 for this. Very proud of you eating your words and making this video 😉 Be well, Stephanie k 😎

[@athanassiospagalis913]

EsKaYf4 the cringe is too strong with this one

[@ionizedrevan]

Went to back to watch this because I've been thinking about hopping in to this game, just wanted to say that you've come so far in so many ways, but you still started damn strong. This was very entertaining to watch. Well done.

[@EllDay]

31:34 I apologize for my actions SkillUp

[@quincycleophasjenkins721]

I hope the don't make a sequel any time soon. i'd rather them build on what they have more. gratz on the career change.

[@LoudAngryJerk]

I mean that is what they have been doing, that being said I'm pretty sure the year 2 dlc (which is free) will be it for division 1

[@imkristopherbaird]

More games should adopt the WoW strategy. There never should have been a destiny 2, the devs should have just kept adding to Destiny 1. I think the Division is no different, continue adding content.

[@thelurekings-osrs3383]

Welp there's one coming out.

[@scullyf2254]

The division 2 just got anounced

[@ProphetTLK]

My friend you are 120% correct.

[@timothymoon7376]

So believe it or not, I have only just started playing this game a few days ago. I was very skeptical the first time a headshot from a hidden position did not drop my target. But never the less, I very quickly fell in love with the game. I still have a lot to learn via gameplay. This was a great review. Good job my friend. And thank you.

[@1BFAssassin]

Always seems right when Skill Up talks The Division. Congrats on going YT fulltime.

[@imneversarcastic3898]

Of the maybe 4 times I've played this game since its launch I never even played enough to get past level 5, your review has convinced me to play it again.

[@MicroDemi]

Well, if the early game didn't grip you in when you first played it like it did for me, I wouldn't suggest playing it through, unless you just want to bumrush to the grind then by all means have at it.

[@ScrileyeHD]

Ti Toxin what is your problem,, get out of here

[@LoudAngryJerk]

what console? i have it on pc and xbox one, lemme know if you want/need any help (BuckshotSurgeon on xbox, TheDeadHavRisen on PC)

[@sb5661]

I thought 1-30 was meh. I dont like being restricted into boring side missions such as intel and virus scanners. But it only lasts 5 -8 days and then youre finaly free and released into the best part of the game. Its worth it.

[@Trayxxxx]

About a half an hour ago a friend of mine said that I should give the division to try. Since he's been frustrated with Destiny for a while, he has seen what Ubisoft has been doing what Bungee should have been doing this whole time, which is improving. I was skeptical at first so I hit the search button to see what people thought about the division now and came to your video. And I have to say, you completely convinced me and I'm very happy about the detailed review that you gave it. So 5 minutes ago from now I bought the game and now it's downloading in my PS4. This may have been my very first video I've seen you do, but I have to say you definitely have a subscriber. Also, congratulations on two years. And thank you.

[@jasper7003]

Aww yea. Big 2018 to you and Laymen Gaming. Can't wait to see whats next!

[@TShank227]

Very thankful for the content you post. It's insightful, informative, and just so real. Thank you

[@mrdeerqc]

Im actually playing this instead of the division 2 Its just so much fun running arround collecting loot

[@captainmarvelous7678]

Awwww shit boys. Here it is. *rubs hands together in anticipation*
